In reply to exxefor xr withdrawals, posted by martha l on December 26, 2003, at 14:33:12
i was on effexor for a year and i didn't experience what you described when going off it but i did experience a terrible withdrawal (anxiety, depression etc), to the point that i had to go back on it and try again months later..but i don't know what you mean by phasing, check with doctor, i don't think you should experience pain unless it is b/c of tense muscles- anxiety/stress related
> i was on effexor for 9 yrs... have weaned of this dreaded med for 4 mos. still have phasing . and have a terrible arthritic type pain all over. has any one else had this type of problem.
> i have been off med for 5 wks. and these reactions dodn't seem to be subsiding...
> thanks martha
